A field in Warwickshire stands untouched by time, its stories buried beneath the soil. Spanning centuries, this collection of historical tales unveils the secrets of one unchanging field across different eras, all connected by the mystery of a lost treasure.
In the present day, farmer Geoff Knight is puzzled by barren patches in his field. With the help of his archaeologist friend, he uncovers remnants of a Roman villa, a WWII ammunition box, and clues hinting at a hidden treasure. In World War II, Major Pete Caruso of the USAAF discovers his family ties among Italian POWs and embarks on a gold-smuggling scheme. In 1307, Templar knights bury their wealth as their order faces dissolution. During Roman times, Legate Antonius Bassius hides his family's gold on his new farm. In the 17th century, Sir John Byron camps with stolen plate from Oxford colleges. Lastly, a Viking named Torston conceals his loot won in battles before joining King Alfred.
Oxhill, a real village in South Warwickshire, serves as the backdrop for these intertwined stories, blending historical facts with fictional elements.
Uncover the layers of history and mystery within this field. Will you discover the treasure's final resting place?
